I suppose you could say we've evolved or mankind is less prejudiced these days, that sort of thing. But it is still remarkable. I know so many believers who pray for Israel. I think it is a move of G-d. (Granted, I think everything is a move of G-d...smile.) I don't usually write it that way, but do it out of respect here.<br /><br />Hope you are having a good day, Dina! Raining here. But it is refreshing on a hot day like this.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-70754597932043633972010-04-04T09:08:10.528+03:002010-04-04T09:08:10.528+03:00It's a shame to use Jesus name for killing.

Israel is the first born son of God and will always be and Jesus is a representative of Israel. As soon as there is hatred there is no faith. Satan tries to destroy all love, respect and reconcilliation. He does it in the shape of some so called Christians. Blessed be you, Dina!

This was planned by God before Adam fell, because God knew that sin would enter the world and that provision would be needed for its covering. <br /><br />Jesus died, not on a Friday, but on Passover. He was in the grave three days and three nights according to the sign of the prophet Jonah, and He arose after sunset on the Feast of First Fruits, having triumphed over death. The blood which He shed(and he was much bloodier than depicted on most crucifixes)was the blood which was foreshadowed by the blood of every sacrificial animal required by Torah. Nothing can be added to it to make it more effective, and nothing can be taken from it.<br /><br />May the Lord bless you and keep you.Dimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313315926201426600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-91909231901048499382010-04-03T06:40:40.739+03:002010-04-03T06:40:40.739+03:00Your words give us a lot to think about on this Go...Your words give us a lot to think about on this Good Friday.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-28578837382364089782010-04-03T05:24:05.034+03:002010-04-03T05:24:05.034+03:00It is indeed but thankfully we can walk side by si...It is indeed but thankfully we can walk side by side and respect each other's beliefs.

European history is filled with examples of persecutions, and not all of them are directed against just Jews. Men from many periods have twisted scripture to foment distrust and hate for political gain. Civility and respect are so very important along with understanding and compassion. Those of us that strive for peace are not alone, but there is never enough of us as our ranks are never filled.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-55120247367169362002010-04-02T21:29:53.403+03:002010-04-02T21:29:53.403+03:00I know the first and his sad story and about the s...I know the first and his sad story and about the second all that I can say is that this is exactly what I was told as a kid at catechism...VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186211344492845052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-18606114043883029562010-04-02T20:49:15.684+03:002010-04-02T20:49:15.684+03:00Nice pictures of the crucifixes which reminds me o...Nice pictures of the crucifixes which reminds me of the Calvaires in Bretagne.<br />I'm always moved to tears when I think that the sacrifice of Jesus was for the whole mankind: he loves each of us, without exception.Pietro Brosiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131884567187959415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-37062430755804897122010-04-02T19:57:41.535+03:002010-04-02T19:57:41.535+03:00The crucifixes are amazing and very moving.

As a Christian...Great pictures & reflections. <br /><br />As a Christian, my heart is heavy that Christians did such things to the Jews. There is no way I can make up for it. I can ask for forgiveness and apologize. <br /><br />What they did was un-Biblical and against what Christ taught. Christ forgave everyone who was involved with His Crucifixion. He forgave all of us from the cross. <br /><br />There was never a Biblical mandate to persecute anyone as 'Christ Killers'. It's against everything Christ preached and shows an ignorance of Christian Scripture.<br /><br />If they had bothered to read Christian Scriptures they would have discovered that ALL of us made Christ's death necessary and we ALL killed him - or caused Him to be killed. <br /><br />I can state that *I* caused Christ's death and back up this assertion with Scripture. I meditate upon *MY* part in Christ's Death on Good Friday.<br /><br />Christ came to die. It was God's will. <br /><br />One of the worst things to ever happen to Christianity was to be made a state religion. Anyone desiring power and influence had to be a Christian. It weakened the Church and turned the Church towards the state more than it did towards God.Adirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983355018215947212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-48891387778517763192010-04-02T15:39:21.343+03:002010-04-02T15:39:21.343+03:00It's cloudy and grey and rain is likely today ...It's cloudy and grey and rain is likely today in Eagan on this Good Friday.
